6 tips for dressing your child for spring
Layer up
Spring brings with it sun and warm afternoons, but we’re not free of chilly mornings just yet! As spring weather can be unpredictable, layering is essential.
Start with a breathable base layer, like a short-sleeve cotton T-shirt. We love this white safari T-shirt, which sports a delightful design of sweet wild animals.
Next, add a light hoodie or a denim jacket. Our olive lettering hoodie and bumblebee denim jacket both add a chic touch to any outfit. Plus, they can easily be removed as the day gets warmer.
Bring on the bright colours
Spring fashion is all about pretty pastels, vibrant colours and fun patterns, reflecting the beauty of the season’s bright blue skies and multicoloured flowers.
Why not embrace the cheerful vibe with graphic tees that boast bright floral patterns like this pink bumblebee T-shirt? Or, opt for blue, green and yellow pastels that mirror a springtime palette. Children love this adorable powder-blue hoodie for spring!
Cool colours and seasonal patterns add a playful touch to any outfit and encourage creativity!
Comfort is key
Comfort and safety should always be your top priorities when dressing children. When dressing your child for a day out this spring, make sure to choose fabrics that are durable and will be comfortable to wear all day long.
Cotton is a great choice for spring because it’s breathable and soft! What’s more, this material is incredibly versatile, providing tonnes of options, from 100% cotton T-shirts to cute denim dungarees.
Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise!
If you’re going to be out all day, make sure to kit your tot out with everything they need to stay hydrated, comfortable and sun-safe.
From wide-brimmed bucket hats or caps that shield their sensitive skin from the sun to water bottles and handy backpacks with lots of room to carry all their bits and bobs, there are so many ways to accessories this spring.
Don’t forget footwear
If your little one is going to be on their feet all day, choosing the right footwear is crucial. We suggest choosing shoes that offer ease of movement while keeping their little toes protected — especially if they’re going to be playing outside!
Lots of parents love high-top toddler trainers because they’re sturdy, breathable and versatile. These navy toddler high-top trainers are perfect for active children, with a sturdy, non-slip sole, elastic laces and a zip up the side, which makes them so easy to pull on and off.
Weather any weather
If you live in the UK, you’ll know the weather can go from sunny to overcast in a matter of seconds. Make sure you’re prepared for sudden weather changes with the right accessories.
Adorable umbrellas and raincoats will keep rain showers at bay, making sure the fun can go on even if the weather isn’t cooperating!
